I've Got Questions with Sinead Bovell

A Once In A Lifetime Career Reset Is Coming | Alexander Manu


Listen Later

In this episode of I’ve Got Questions, I sit down with futurist, author, and strategic foresight professor Alexander Manu to explore how AI is reshaping the meaning of work, creativity, and identity.


He explains how technology has always been a bridge to new forms of human expression, and how AI may usher in the most creative, personalized era of human history.


Manu argues that we need to transcend the idea that our identity is tied to our jobs because

AI is not just another tool that will change the workforce, but it’s also a mirror forcing us to ask, “What else can I become?”
